Sembler helps bankroll Freedom's Watch

St. Petersburg developer and Republican party donor Mel Sembler is helping raise money for a conservative advocacy group that sees itself as the antidote to MoveOn.org. It calls itself Freedom's Watch.

"A bunch of us activists kept watching MoveOn and its attacks on the war, and it just got to be obnoxious," Sembler told The New York Times. “We decided we needed to do something about this, because the conservative side was not responding.”
